2025 Texas Longhorns Recruiting / Team News Thread

[chubbs]

Against a team that Texas State hung half a bill on the previous week. Let's be even fairer and see how he throws against the SEC teams. I think he'll be great but again this was lolutsa.

um, touche? never said otherwise, and agreed its way all over the top. just that it wasnt based on one run.

[Blake]

You're saying he made "difficult throws too! "

Cmon it was based on the one run. We all know it

[pgardn]

Suspicious that Ewers is even hurt. A ruse to get Arch on the field?

Absolutely NO.

Conspiracy theories creeping into CF.

NO. Ridiculous. Ewers and Sark have worked longer together therefore Sark has a much better feel for the playbook with Ewers.
This is very important to Sark’s coaching style. Now if desperation plays enter where you need a mobile QB to throw long down field I could see this play replacement.

[pgardn]

You're saying he made "difficult throws too! "

Cmon it was based on the one run. We all know it

Sark said he was really impressed with how Arch handled a couple of pass plays.
They were not the wide open touchdown or the speed touchdown by Bond.
He referred to another play from execution.

But I fully believe this is all about Ewers as well as Sark believes he has the best chances of beating tough teams with Ewers who has a proven record against tough opponents. Sark and Ewers understand each other now. A QB coach like Sarkisian is much more comfortable with a guy he knows imo. So it’s just about Ewers getting healthy to where Sark feels he can run the playbook imo.

According to OTF, the staff spoke with DT Walter Mathis, Jr. of Savannah, GA again this weekend, and chances are looking good that he'll be in Austin for the Mississippi State game.

https://247sports.com/player/walter-mathis-46142092/

OTF followed up on this and Mathis, Jr. and his family will be in Austin that weekend.

It will be an unofficial visit with the hope the staff can schedule him for an official later in the season.

We dont want just one corner in 2025?
We had one walk out, anyone you are looking at to walk in?

Hamilton at OTF spoke on CB recruiting and said the staff would like to add "another piece or two."

He said the staff is also fine with heading to the portal to fill an immediate need should things shake out that way, but that leeway and stacking wins affords them the opportunity to go "deep sea fishing" for another high school stud.

He thinks it's way more likely any flip would come from an in-state player, and the three the staff is focused on are Dorian Brew (Conroe High), Devin Sanchez (Galena Park North Shore) and Cobey Sellers (Pearland Shadow Creek).

The out-of-state war daddies would be Dijon Lee (Mission Viejo, CA) and Na'eem Offord (Birmingham, AL).

Per IT, Coach Baker reached out to DT Zion Williams of Lufkin this week.

He's still solid to LSU, but is listening to what the staff has to say and has an official visit to Texas remaining.

[TFloss32]

Also from IT, LB Riley Pettijohn of McKinney High spoke with Sark recently.

Nothing more than that to report, but the staff isn't giving up and communication remains open.

They wrote this about the staff's strategy and how they're content playing the long game in recruiting:

"Coach Sark and his staff have consistently focused on the long game, prioritizing strong relationships with top recruits. As the number one team in the nation, Texas is demonstrating to prospects why they should commit, with a clear emphasis on player development, scheme, and a winning culture. Given the current construction of the team, this success looks poised to continue, making Texas an attractive destination for elite talent."

'27 QB offer Peyton Houston of Shreveport, LA made it to the UTSA game and gave a few quotes to IT.

A former teammate of RB James Simon, he wants to get back to Austin for the Georgia game.

“It’s definitely family at Texas,” Houston told Inside Texas. “I loved everything about the game day visit. The relationship with the coaching staff is already really strong. I’m looking forward to coming back and taking in a SEC game now.”

“I love the Texas offense,” said Houston. “Coach Sark runs a Pro-Style offense but it has some Air Raid elements to it as well. His offense attacks space and gets the ball in the hands of the playmakers quickly.“

IT had a post today on potential flips as the season unfolds.

They put the number around five at the moment, and said the level of surprise ranges from "ho-hum to holy shit!"

This doesn't include the guys like Charles and Sharma who've already made the switch.

Not all of the names they're hearing have taken official visits to Texas, so that speaks to how delicate/secretive the process can be when trying to flip a blue-chip recruit.

They mentioned a victory against Georgia (that may be the most impressive visitors list for a Texas game we've ever seen) being a catalyst to really set things off, but said continuing to win and staying on the current trajectory as a program is the most important factor.

389… not 390

Sales pitch, he comes in 1 lb cheaper.
This is a junior in HS who is in athletics. And it’s very hot in Texas, especially with pads on.
Maybe he has a very dense 6’ 5” skeleton.

Be interesting to know what the coaches DL board looks like/order preference between Wynn, Sims, Mathis, and Mbatchou.

Gerry says the staff absolutely wants Sims. Don't see how they say no to Wynn. Mathis looks like a Byron Murphy clone. Every indication is the staff definitely likes Mbatchou.

Yeah, hard to see where Simpson fits.

Sounds like they're going to try to wrap up Sims next weekend, so that would make three with Charles and Sharma already in the boat.

The order of preference after that seems to be Mathis and then Mbatchou, but they love both.

Texas' strategy with Wynn is more difficult to figure out because he's still committed to FSU and Georgia is the other competition.

Good stuff:tu

Is Sims having a really good senior season so far? We did not seem to care about him until we got desperate?
Did we really like him but he indicated it was ATM and that’s it? Why not DJ Sanders? I know we liked him as a excellent project?

I would rather he not sit 3 full weeks and then play Oklahoma.
Oklahoma has a really good defense imo.

Quotes from '26 DE priority Jamarion Carlton of Temple, who will be at both the Mississippi State and Georgia games (247):

"The communication has actually been great. I talked to coach PK (Pete Kwiatkowski) like three days ago I think, so communication has been there a whole lot, I've been communicating with them a whole lot so it's been great."

"I mainly talk to coach PK most of the time but there's a couple of other coaches I'll hear from here and there and then sometimes I'll have a facetime with coach Sark."

"How did I do in the game, what I need to work on and everything," Carlton said of what the talking points are usually like when talking to Texas. "But it's usually based off how I can progress myself to be better."

"Really just saying I can't be nervous when I go out there, just go out there and play so I just try my best to do that go out there and play hard."

"Really just the atmosphere," Carlton said of what he's looking forward to seeing when he returns to Texas. "I've never been to a Texas game before in my life so just being there and experiencing everything."

"It's been very fun watching them, they've been going crazy. They probably can beat any team in the nation right now so it's been fun keeping up with them."

"I feel like they'll go deep in the playoffs and will probably win a natty. I think they'll probably win the natty this year."

"It's really good because you see they're putting people into the NFL every single year almost so just seeing how they've progressed to now, that means it took a whole lot of work and I — I, I like what they're doing."

"That everybody can have a chance if they just work hard. So I know he (Colin Simmons) put in a whole lot of work there, graduated early and worked hard to get playing time on the field regardless. That's something that's real hard to do. So just me seeing that if you really work hard, you'll be able to get on that field early and that's really a lot for me."

"To me, it really doesn't matter. Just wherever fits me so it doesn't matter if I have to go out of state or not. If the program fits me, then that's where I feel like I'm gonna go."

DL Malcolm Simpson of Hitchcock talks about his visit to UT over the weekend (247):

"The Texas visit was very good," Simpson told Horns247. "We actually talked a lot with the coaches, talking to Coach (Kenny) Baker, the D-line coach. He was telling me he was watching my film the past couple weeks. Texas felt good about my film. I talked with the head coach, him telling me keep my grades right and I don't have to worry about nothing as long I get everything done."

"I really don't know," Simpson said of an offer timeline. "The last time I checked I'm supposed to be talking to them again when I go back to watch their game against Georgia."

"For me, if they gave me the offer, I'd feel like I'm really reaching my goals, changing myself from what I used to be. I'd know I'm really doing something with my life and I'm capable of being a big part of the team."

"It was crazy because I had never been to a Texas game at night time," he said. "I've watched so many times on YouTube and seeing it in person is ridiculous. The light show when they had the lights on and they're saying 'Texas Fight' was just crazy."

"Texas' defensive line is really good. Basically I was watching film all day yesterday. Basically whatever their D-line was doing, (I wanted to see if) I could do it in my game. I watched 95 and I watched 11. I watched 11, how he was at D-end, using his hand, I watched 95 stay in his gaps. It was like film yesterday. Basically just seeing whatever they do, seeing if I can do that on the field."

"I'm truly strong with Nebraska," he said. "I haven't been to one of their games yet. I've been working on my schoolwork. I want to come down to one of their games. I just want to come back to Lincoln. I still talk to Coach Knighton, I still talk to the head coach, I still talk to all the coaches there. You know, I just wanted to come see Texas and see whatever they have for me."

On DT Chace Sims of Richmond Randle...Hamilton at OTF currently has him at 80% to Texas ahead of his weekend visit to Austin.

He believes this one simply comes down to how the visit goes, and his conversations with Sark and Coach Baker.

He didn't take a summer official visit, so he hasn't had a chance to have those in-person talks like others have.

One game could really skew these numbers.
Ohio St or Alabama are probably top notch with this stuff based on crushing all opponents.
Tennessee suffered a set back I guess by having to play a good OU defense.
And Tennessee definitely played to win the game on offense not worrying about stats. Imo Heupel did a good job not going too risky on offense after it was clear OU was deficient offensively and was too far down.

1st paragraph was a bad attempt at a joke having read the initial number 1 in the US (It was Texas, my mistake). UNC was #1 in the US ratings I had looked at

2nd part is political which should have probably not been written. I did learn a lot more concerning history at UT than I did in HS. Dirty laundry sanitized in HS. But that was my experience. So I will delete.

I don't totally disagree with that. But for right now Quinn is the more seasoned quarterback. He has come up big in big games. He has steadily improved every season leading up to this moment.

Manning could very well wind up the better pro, but Quinn is the quarterback for this season.

Blocked punts, dropped passes... outside of that first drive it's been a pretty frustrating half
